ARLINGTON, Va. – The No. 4-seeded Davidson baseball team fell to No. 5-seed VCU, 11-0, on the first day of the 2015 Atlantic 10 Tournament Wednesday evening at Barcroft Park.
Davidson (26-11, 14-10 A-10) will return to the field tomorrow, May 21 to take on the loser of game six between top-seed Saint Louis and the Rams, as the tournament is double elimination.

Designated hitter Ryan Lowe, shortstop Alec Acosta, catcher Tyler Agard, second baseman Sam Foy and left fielder Will Robertson each picked up a hit for the Wildcats.
The Rams started the day off hot, taking an early 5-0 lead in the first three innings. After getting a run across in the first and second, VCU picked up a three-run homer in the third to grab the momentum.
Scoring runs in the next three innings, while holding Davidson to five hits secured the game for the Rams.
